Hong Kong Disneyland

Hong Kong Disneyland

The brief was to create 3 different edits, showcasing the HK Disneyland Park app, PhotoPass app, and one edit that would combine both. Pressed by the upcoming holiday season, we had to pull the whole production - storyboarding, location scouting, talent sourcing - in just a couple of weeks. Shooting from sunrise to sunset on one of the hottest days of the year certainly added another level of difficulty, but made it happen.

During post-production, the challenge was to tell a story that demonstrated the two different apps' functionalities without being too long or confusing, and up to Disney's high standards.

A Tale of Two Apps: A young couple discovers the magic of Disney through their smartphones.

Filmages was asked to create explainer videos for Hong Kong Disneyland's apps. Shooting from sunrise to sunset on one of the hottest days of the year was not ideal, but we had to make it all happen fast. Building everything from scratch, we storyboarded, talent sourced and pulled a shoot together in a couple of weeks.

Quality control was essential. Storyboarding, talent sourcing, editing and motion graphics had to be kept up to Disney standards. Not to mention tying it together into a neat 30 second clip for the app store!

Capturing the blazing speed at which our urban environment is evolving is a rare treat. We felt honoured that, for the 4th year in a row, Gammon asked us to produce a creative presentation of their annual review.
At the time we were weather and authorisation dependent so the shooting stretched over several weeks. But not to worry, right off the bat we created an overall structure that allowed us to build this movie with maximum flexibility.

Combining various techniques such as drone and helicopter aerial filming, timelapses, hyperlapses, steadycam, jib cranes, and many other in-house tricks, we created a piece that illuminated Gammon's technical innovation.
We made it look easy, but we guarantee that (a little) blood and sweat were key components in the making of this movie.

During their annual conference, and after the traditional kick-off and welcome messages, the CEO got right down to business.

"Last year we got together, we brainstormed, we devised strategies... we talked a lot. But did we walk the walk? What happened when everyone went back to their desks?"
He left the question pending... and this is when our movie started up.

La Rose Noire

How do you represent a company with a global presence?
You get people from all around the world to talk about it.

So, we created six mini-stories ideally portraying a business club manager in New York City, a golf club manager in Singapore, a catering manager for a fashion event in Paris, a six-star hotel manager in Dubai, an executive chef in Sydney, and a royal banquet official in London.

CLEARgo

Build, Grow, Operate your e-Commerce

CLEARgo

E-commerce is not only a sophisticated technology, but also an extremely complicated concept with a lot of moving parts; Online retailing, ad banner administration, consumer behavior tracking, promotional offers, online payments, warehouse management, fulfillment, and much more.

So to add some clarity to the complexity and get ClearGo’s message out loud and clear we used dynamic motion graphics.
Motion graphics helped to represent abstract concepts and give a unified look in line with Cleargo brand identity.

From humble beginnings in 1958 with the construction of a new runway at the Kai Tak Airport, Gammon Construction has weathered more than five decades of market changes, social and economic fluctuations and regional developments that have shaped the modern engineering landscape.

To celebrate 55 years as one of the premier construction companies in Asia, Gammon commissioned Filmages to produce a faithful and vibrant portrait of its remarkable achievements and current activities.

As it goes with construction industry, our crew and gear were put to the test going deep underground to high up in the air in a helicopter.

The Challenge: Cosmo Supply Lab is a leading manufacturer of mix-material accessories, mostly for “Who Shall Not Be Named”. So we had to show without showing, explain without being specific, demonstrate without end products, yet convince uncompromisingly.
Yeah.

How do we make a movie delicious? This was the challenge posed to us by LRN, was to turn 3 new product lines and make them visually appealing whislt using our sense of sight to ultimately determine taste.

Another challenge was to demonstrate the handmade care taken with the products, all being done in an industrial factory.

It was a challenging project, this fun, delicious, stylish and sexy and we here are very proud of the end result.

Four Seasons Hotels

Four Seasons Hotels

1) Shoot a highly ambitious, yet low budget project
2) At 7 different locations, including 2 Michelin Starred restaurants
3) In the course of a single day without creating any disturbance to their guests or operations

We proposed to bring Charlie Bear to life without using any 3D artifice to maintain the human element and the holiday feel.

This project required a meticulous storyboard and tight management of our production schedule.

We had five different bear puppets, each with different movement capabilities such as walking down a staircase, using chopsticks, or diving in a pool.

Our challenge put in front of us was to create an eye-catching awards animation. With our model and several motion graphics techniques (can you count how many?). This dynamic mix of concept, direction, individuals and techniques, we created an awards animation that would kick off their ceremony in the best possible way.

Focus on Film

Kiiiiiiids

Focus on Film

For this presentation video, we were briefed to create a dynamic and informative video for this charity.
Their aim is to create as many aspiring directors, camera operators and video editors for tomorrow. So of course, this is a project very close to our heart!
This project gave us the opportunity to use different techniques, allowing us to flex our creative muscles.and adopt techniques we wouldn’t have the opportunity to!

Macarons & Petits Fours

La Rose Noire

How do you fire up a party?
By inviting La Rose Noire's mischievous Mini-macarons and Amuse-bouches!

To promote this new line of finger-food products we created a light-hearted comedy using stop-motion animation to give life to bit-size delicacies.
We wish we could say that no Macaron was harmed in the making of this video, but that wouldn't be true. Stop-motion animation takes time, a lot of time, and we had to frequently relieve the "actors" from duty.

Using an enormous multi-screen in Cannes, France we wanted to captivate the audience. This Awards Ceremony celebrated the most outstanding of property development in 9 different categories.

So the kickoff needed to not only be informative but it needed to be entertaining and inspiring as well. To maximise visual effect we worked with the lighting and stage designer and truly enhanced the stage. We wanted our effects to be described with words like"big", "bold", "gutsy". But at the same time we wanted to illicit emotion and leave a lasting impression on the attendees.

There are many people who might think Bakery and Pastry are easy; just add the ingredients in correct quantities, mix, bake, serve; et voilà! - Not quite.
The fine art of French Bakery and Pastry is about crafting each product down to the smallest details. And that is what makes La Rose Noire operations so fascinating; Industrial scale yet genuinely handcrafted.
So to produce this movie we had to first observe, and then humbly learn to see from the eye's of this industry.
We brought in a strong storyline, a touch of poetry and humour.
The resulting movie was extremely well received by LRN customers world-wide and this translated in a noticeable increase in sales.

We cooked up some anticipation for the Mapic event held in Cannes, France.

To contrast the strict and practical expectations of a corporate evening we came up with an original approach that would surprise and entertain the attendees.
With animation we displayed the award process as a recipe, really attracting the attention of the crowd. Using simple, yet strong design, with some special sound effects, the metaphor lighted some sparkles in the audience and really set the tone for the rest of the night.

Et voilà!

Blue Current

Hitachi Data Systems - Data Storage Management

Blue Current

Data is flowing faster than many organizations can manage. We produced a teaser video to attract I.T. executives to download a white paper on big data, converged systems, virtualization, cloud computing and so on...

A bit of a dry topic? Well, we managed to develop an original and catchy animation to raise the eyebrows of busy I.T. experts.

Our ITX character is simple, yet tells a rather complex story with basic movements and facial expressions.

One month later; a jazzy tune, casual voice over, an eye-catching color scheme and some delicate transitions bring the Hitachi Data Systems' technical findings to life.

Eventsman

Eventsman

Leaving a rainy Scotland, our hero arrives in Hong Kong, and enjoys the cultural shock before adapting to his new life…

Collaborating with the very talented illustrator Harry Harrison (SCMP, Wall Street Journal), we concentrated all our efforts on animating his two-dimensional drawings.

We intially received them in black and white, then applied various composition tricks to bring elements of cinema to the illustrations. Additionally, we supplied the storyboards, sound effects and Scottish voice over.

Two weeks, roughly 160 drawings and several coffee breaks later, we delivered a unique anniversary video for a private event hosted by Eventsman.

GL Events

Cartes in Asia

GL Events

For the second consecutive year, GL Events commissioned Filmages to produce a short presentation video for Comexposium's “Cartes in Asia Summit” in Hong Kong.

The main topics of this year’s conferences were mobility, payments, smart technologies, digital security and IoT. To catch the audience’s attention immediately, and centralise the human element within the story, we created a kick-off video featuring a hand manipulating smart technologies with various interfaces in everyday situations

The apparently simple animation was based on outline strokes animated using one hand, which required advance motion graphics with a few tailor-made sound effects. The final video was a startling surprise for an audience of tech buffs. It helped the client strenghten its corporate image as an innovative event organizer.

MIPIM Asia Promo 2011

Reed MIDEM

Following the success of MIPIM Asia exhibition in November 2011, Reed Midem wanted to focus on the opportunities and value of meeting face-to-face. Reed Midem’s expertise as a business events organizer was in its full swing, which helped reinforce its strong networking platform for all participants, exhibitors, partners, and investors.

In our 5th consecutive collaboration with Reed Midem, we covered 3 busy days of exhibitions, conferences, presentations as well as the awards ceremony. Filmages delivered a message that conveyed MIPIM Asia’s insight in the industry.

The upscale video format, easily recognisable to members of the audience, compiled the highlights of the exhibition such as a key note by Economy Nobel Prize winner, Joseph Stiglitz.

Additionally, this video promoted the long-term engagement of Reed Midem as a key player in within the real estate market in Asia.

In 2010, Reed Midem really wanted to generate an optimistic buzz for the MIPIM Asia awards. After the 2009 global downturn, the key takeaway was Asia Pacific’s rapid, effective and sustainable recovery.

In our 3rd consecutive collaboration, using the now highly recognisable MIPIM Asia format, Filmages created a powerful and upbeat promotional video. Focusing on the fact that, even in the darkest hours of the melt down, Asia not only started her recovery earlier than anywhere else but also that she weathered the financial storm with stellar business acumen.

The MIPIM 2010 video sought to promote that, even though 2009 was a tough year, the exhibition was a resounding success and was definitely not to be missed this year.

Sonepar

Leadership Meeting Asia Pacific 2010 Kick-off

Sonepar

After commissioning a video presentation for their upcoming seminar, Sonepar gave Filmages some existing material with which to start building a video. But there was not enough to truly represent their global reach as it only focussed on their business in Europe.

Considering that they are represented in 17 Asian countries, this presented a very unbalanced picture. So, with very little time and material available, Filmages decided to redress what we had to create a video that fully exposed the Asian arm of Sonepar.

By adding snapshots of the people who make up the Sonepar Asia operations teams, Filmages produced a video which lifted up the Asia Pacific image on the global management stage.

Aqua GroupA+M Studio

Aqua GroupA+M Studio

Originally built in 1881, the historical site where Hullett House stands today is one of the four oldest surviving government buildings in Hong Kong. For more than 100 years it was occupied by Hong Kong’s Royal Marine Police.

To celebrate its renovation and re-opening to the public, as an ultimate lifestyle destination, we juxtaposed representations of the golden era of the 50s - a cheongsam dressed model with matching hair and make-up - next to modern day Hong Kong.

Additionally, we brought back to life old black and white postcards and, in doing so, encapsulated the rich heritage of this colonial era landmark.

Hong Kong Jewish Film Festival

Hong Kong Jewish Film Festival

For it’s 10th annual event, the HKJFF wanted to make a branded video to raise awareness of the event, using the HKJFF logo as the storyboard foundation.

The HKJFF logo contains three perspectives in it’s design:

1. The Star of David - Historic symbol of the Jewish faith and culture.
2. Audience eyes - Well, it is a film festival.
3. A circle of people holding hands - Bringing the community together for culture, entertainment, and new friends.

From Howard’s storyboard, Filmages developed and choreographed a cast of unique characters, composited, edited, and synched the edit to Carol’s great music.

French Consulate

French Consulate

Le French May is one of Hong Kong’s largest celebrations of a foreign culture with hundreds of artists and performers making the journey from France to share their talents with Hong Kong.

In order to promote the headline acts, the Hong Kong audience first needed an introduction as most are not that well-known. Taking photos and footage of the featured, Filmages designed a slick, sexy animation sequence for each category, adding clips and photos of the acts throughout.

At the Client’s request we created 30, 60 and 180-second versions that were used in a variety of press conferences, TV ad campaigns, and internet marketing.

Elle Magazine

Elle Magazine

Behind the glamour of an evening filled with celebrities, models, actors, and singers, events like the Elle Style Awards need to be flawless.

Through a meticulous but flexible design process we successfully created graphic animations for the 25+ requested nominees and awards recipients, even as information arrived late or was re-shuffled by the client literally at the last minute.

HKU - Pasteur Research Centre

The Fight Against Infectious Diseases

HKU - Pasteur Research Centre

In the age of attention deficit hyperactivity disorders, 140 max-character IMs, and 15-seconds video clips, watching a 12-minute long documentary might seem like a sizeable task. But there are people who dedicate their lives to saving others, and that doesn't happen in a snap.

Hong Kong University - Pasteur Research Centre needed a corporate documentary to present their latest activities and appeal for research sponsorship. Filmages created a whole set of communication materials, including a brochure, a website, and a 12-minute long video.

This enabled HKU-PRC to secure an endowment fund and further contribute to the fight against infectious diseases.
